About

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own an Owners Version of this upgraded and highly sought after never-chartered model. Offered at below market and ready to cruise the moment you step aboard, Eng. hours 1371, Gen 1186

This stunning Leopard PC53  power catamaran was built in 2021 and has spent most of her life  with very little private use in Florida, preserving her exceptional condition. Acquired by the current owner in November 2024 and cruised on the east coast and the Bahamas, and recently in the northern Caribbean she has been meticulously maintained by dedicated full-time live aboard owners 

This galley-up, 3-cabin owner's version maximizes luxury and space and the 53PC has almost 40% more usable space than the previous model the 51PC. The expansive starboard aft owner's cabin features a generous 2 sink bathroom and a huge separate shower.  The fly bridge is a sight to behold, offering panoramic views, ample lounge areas, a protected helm, sun lounge, BBQ grill, ice maker, beverage fridge and a dining table that seats 8.

 The upgraded Yanmar LV-8 370 engines sit in oversized engine rooms with giant hatches which make for open air access and expansive room. The Yanmar 9LV common rail engines have developed a reputation for fuel economy, low maintenance, and reliability. 

The yacht comes with wireless Yacht Controller, and an electric bow thruster to tame difficult docking situations.  Both the lower and the flybridge helms are protected and out of the elements for total comfort on longer cruises.   The well engineered configuration  and the catamaran hull make this boat very efficient at displacement speeds easily getting 3 miles per gallon and a range of 1680 nautical miles at 1400 rpm. High displacement cruise is 8.5 knots or you can bring her up in plane to make time at up to 23 knots. 

 With a fresh water capacity of 185  US gallons) and a 26 US Gal/h) watermaker on board, this vessel is perfectly suited for long term cruising , combining power, efficiency, and ample tankage.

Onward was recently hauled in Florida for bottom prep and two coats of BioGuard bottom paint.  All running gear was coated with PropSpeed.  Props were tuned, and new cutlass bearings installed.  The top sides have always been protected with ceramic coating. There has been strict adherence to maintenance interval’s.

Onward is largely self sufficient for power thanks to over 3,200. watts of solar and a large bank of lithium batteries controlled by Victron.  The Northern Lights generator has low hours as a result.  If the sun shines, you may never need to run the generator except for the BBQ Grill or the house air conditioner.

Whether on the expansive flybridge, on the comfortable foredeck, in the large cockpit, or inside in the salon the useable living space is more than some boats twice the size.  Storage to match.

Toys included.  Two kayaks, two kayak/SUP combos.  Two electric scooters to get around at 17 mph when you’re on land.  A 2023 Center Helm Highfield Tender 390 with 60 hsp Yamaha outboard with ski pylon and bimini is included on the electric tender lift/submersible swim platform.

Recent upgrades:  Crystal Clear Eisenglass for flybridge ($1700), Teakf hairs purchased for cockpit and tables refinishedf ($2800), all new toysf ( $17000) bottom paint and prop speed on all running gear Nov. 2025, tuned props and cutlass bearings ($7500) polish topside and finish with ceramic sealant, interior decor, new fenders & lines, Sonos Eros stereo upgrade, Star link Gen 3 on hardtop, wind and weather monitor, Optimization of solar MPPt/Genset chargers for the LifePO3 battery bank to charge quickly.  Off sight web based reporting and mgt. of electrical system view from phone, new autopilot drive, lots tools and spares, 20" ceiling fan over master bed, watermaker refurbished (92% life left on Membrane filter).  New Spare Auto Pilot ($10,000)  Upgraded Ultra 100lb anchor with 200 lbs chain ($8,000) kept Delta and Dansforth as spares.

A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.

— Nicholas Laing

Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!

— Linda W.

We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.

— Alyson Nance

Chris Block was our broker. He was great. He went above and beyond what we thought we needed. His expertise helped us get our dream boat for way less than expected. I will use TMC and Chris Block in the future. Definitely recommend.

— Austin Smith

Chris Rundlett in Grenada was my buyers broker for a catamaran I purchased in Tortola.
The buying process was problematic with numerous mechanical issues needing attention. Throughout the process he was fantastic. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy a boat in the Caribbean.
